I hope to gain invaluable lessons and expand my skill set through any work experience I am fortunate enough to find on WWOOF. I am going to be in Australia for the month of July and would love to immerse myself in Australian culture and to working in an environment that I have not yet worked in.

For our 12 month van trip it seems like a great way to learn some practical skills and see some different ways of doing things that maybe we could incorporate into our own little garden at home. We would love to start keeping bees and chooks in our yard to start 'closing the loop' in our backyard.

Our beautiful lush valley is abundant with wildlife, creeks, dams and surrounded by bush ! Permaculture principles apply with the growing of our food, nourishment of the land, animals and ourselves.    

Coquon Farm is a small (90 acre ) property on the banks of the Hunter River just north of Maitland, NSW.  

I joined wwoof for a bunch of reasons. I love nature, I love organic things, the culture around it and the people who provide it. For about 5 years I've kept meeting people from overseas and had them talk about how beautiful Australia is and I've had very little idea of where they were talking about when they mentioned some of these Australian spots. So I decided this year to travel around and see the wonders that Australia has to offer. I'd heard about woofing before realised  when I looked at the website how incredibly the opportunities offered were so I decided to join, learn a bunch of things, meet some lovely people and have amazing experiences

I've joined WWOOF because I want to experience what it's like to be on a farm and work on the land. I'm excited to meet new people and help out. I can volunteer for up to 3 weeks from approx 17th April to 9th May.

Even though I know exactly what kind of job I want to do, I don’t feel ready to start an independent working life in a city as big as Paris yet. I grew up in the suburbs, surrounded by nature, quietness and a breathable air. When I was a kid, I used to scout with my friends during week-ends and summer holidays. We camped and hiked in the forests and the mountains, crossed small rivers, farms or fields as far as the eye could see. Discovery, adventure, nature, surpassing oneself, those are the words that truly define my scout experience. I always knew I'd need to go back to those kinds of experience in the future. So here I am, doing a gap year between my last two final years of study so I could experience wwoofing in Australia. It’s an opportunity for me to take a break from this predefined pattern of student and professional life in order to reflect and to refocus on what I'm ready to do. Discovering Australia has always been one of my dreams. I look forward to arriving in this country with so many beautiful diverse landscapes. I believe that wwoofing is the best way to be fully immersed in Australian life and culture, meet new people and improve my English.

I joined WWOOF because my wwoofing experiences in New Zealand were so great that I want to do it again in Australia. To me it's a way to meet people that I wouldn't meet as a backpacker and to learn about different things. I would especially like to learn about growing fruits and veggies and medicinal plants. Also, I'm not really good at cooking but I'm more than eager to learn. If you know about beekeeping that would be of interest to me as well.

I joined WWOOF because I do not just want to be another tourist in Australia. I want to experience the country, its people and culture with a more concrete approach. After a ton of research, I came across WWOOF and it seemed like what I was looking for.

Because I want to improve my ability to adapt to differents situations, and also my knowledge in permaculture and sustainable houses. I would like also to improve my english with you ! ; )

I have a dream to start my own animal assisted therapy practice with Alpacas. I have a little experience with Farm life; but am keen to get a proper taste of life on a farm. This is also a great opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and learn from new people in new places. I'm particularly interested in learning how to handle and care for livestock to be able to bring skills back to my family who are reasonably new to the rural lifestyle.

  Commonground is an intentional community committed to supporting social change. The Seymour property is used as a workshop & retreat venue for a variety of social change groups. We have developed a very attractive 95 acre property using permaculture principles. The main building which accommodates both groups & residents is made from mud bricks & recycled materials. We provide a stimulating opportunity to work with members of the community and are enthusiastic about our WWOOFers because we appreciate the opportunity for mutual exchange. (We have been WWOOF Hosts since 1993!) Work includes garden & orchard work, property & building maintenance, shared catering support. Vegetarian meals. NSI. Min stay 2 weeks. Easy 1 hour train from Southern Cross station in Melbourne to Seymour station and we are happy to pick you up.

I joined, because I want to travel to Australia and have the opportunity to work on a farm or barn with animals, learning new things, going on adventures and getting to know local people in Australia.

We are gradually restoring a neglected farm, a beautiful 180 acres bordering NP and close to beaches. Low-tech hard work & BD preparations are slowly producing results on our pastures. Our animals are part of the family - Josephine the milking cow, a small beef herd, chooks, ducks & sometimes pigs. Our vegie garden is established, the orchard in the making. Most of our food is produced on the farm, but fishing trips supplement our diet, which is meaty, tasty & healthy. Work incl work in pastures, weeding, raking, fencing, help in vegie garden & orchard, feeding animals and building projects. Own transport preferable to take advantage of the beautiful surrounding area. Caravan accom for a single or a couple. No children. Meat-based meals. Non-smokers only. Negotiable stays after first few days. Cannot take WWOOFers during winter.
